1. Washington Dulles International Airport
A short questionnaire:
1. Are you intellectually challenged?
2. Have you lost most of your brain cells to crack, alcohol, or your drug of choice?
3. Do you have no respect or concern for your fellow human beings?
4. Do you resemble a manatee? In other…More »
2. The Westin Washington Dulles Airport
Prepare for the wrath!
Yes, this is a Westin. it is supposed to be cleaner, have nicer rooms, and better service than your average motel. Not this location. This Westin makes any crappy motel look like an upscale spa resort.
Don't get me wrong. The…More »
3. Galileo III - CLOSED
Some places are not just restaurants, they are temples of gastronomic art that make your palate experience vivid flavors. Chef Roberto Donna is a genius who makes you appreciate the art of preparing food.
When I told my good friend I am coming to DC…More »
4. Hotel Palomar
My name is V and I am funky!
That's how I felt as soon as I stepped in to the room. Animal print robes, animal print socks, animal print blanket and a huge bathroom. Suhweet!
Yes, I would like to wear this orange bathrobe with cheetah print. Are there…More »
5. Equinox Restaurant
Friend, calling at 6am: White truffles from Italy are in. I am making reservations for this weekend. Book your flight tickets.
Me: *still sleepy* What?
Friend: Did you not hear me?
Me: I heard you. You mean THIS weekend? It's only 3 days away.
Friend:…More »
6. Clyde's
Washington, DC 20007
(202) 333-9180
Category:
American (Traditional)
Neighbourhood: Georgetown
Our waiter looked like a model. Damn, he was fine! He should have gone in to modeling instead of waiting tables.
The beer order was mixed up, he forgot about us, and we had to go speak to the manager to get service. He later returns to ask if…More »
7. La Madeleine French Bakery & Cafe
Pull up a chair and sit down (even better, sit on my lap). Let me tell you a story.
I used to go to La Madeleine in New Orleans (nola) almost every other weekend. This was before the hurricane. I lived in god awful mississippi for a few years (career…More »
8. Bezu
Asian - French fusion has been beaten to death by now. Everybody and their mother wants to fuse Asian and French cuisine. Well, newsflash muthafu*kers, the Vietnamese have been doing this for ages. Finding a decent nuevo French-Asian fusion place is…More »
9. Rice
Yeah, this statement from my friend about sums it up: "I take my friends to Rice and my flings to ThaiTanic" (ThaiTanic is the other Thai restaurant in the area)
I visited my friend who lives in the Logan Circle area and offered to take him to dinner.…More »
10. Odeon Cafe
Washington, DC 20009
(202) 328-6228
Where do you go to eat when you are hungry at midnight on a Sunday...and you are staying at a hotel near Dupont circle?
I walked up to Dupont circle hoping there will be a lot of places open around midnight. After all, it's only Sunday, the gays…More »

Asian Fusion,
Sushi Bars
Neighbourhood: Dupont Circle
Asian tapas or Asian diner? or both?
This place is far from being a diner. The only diner-y thing about it is that it stays open late. Decent pan-Asian cuisine served in a great outdoor seating area.
I met my vegan friend and his buddy for dinner…More »
12. Banana Leaves Asian Restaurant & Sushi Bar
Once again, I find myself in DC for a conference. I should probably just move here. It will make my life easier.
Called upon my radical vegan friend and we decided to do dinner. He was having boy problems and I decided to be a good friend and lend a…More »

American (Traditional),
Breakfast & Brunch
My tryst with suburbia continues. Someone save me from this "world" and get me out of here.
Weird place with weird service. I was taken to Mimis by family who said I have to try their muffins. Wha? They serve muffins for lunch? Come again?? Who serves…More »

Category:
Coffee & Tea
Neighbourhood: West End
For feck's sake, it is Illy. I don't need to explain anymore.
This is a place to enjoy your coffee. If you want to get it to go and run, go to Starbucks (or dunkin donuts, for that matter).
Minus one star for a poor selection of baked goods/…More »
15. Tony & Joe's Seafood Place
A suburban oasis in the city. If I wanted to feel like dining in the suburbs, I will go to MD or VA. But, being the good family member that I am, I obliged. I guess this is where all the suburban people in DC go, for after work dinner and drinks.
I…More »

Neighbourhood: West End
Great location. The hotel is walking distance to the Dupont Circle and GWU blue line station. You can gay it up at Dupont, and then take the blue line to go to the airport after you are done.
I stayed here 4 nights for a conference. The hotel is very…More »
17. Wegmans
Walking out of Wegman's, I wished to have the power to burn down the grocery stores in Chicago by looking at them. Wegman's makes me want to beat the sh*t out of the grocery store managers in Chicago and drive some sense in to them. Is it a bad…More »
18. Renaissance Washington, DC Dupont Circle Hotel
Washington, DC 20037
(202) 775-0800
Category:
Hotels
Neighbourhood: West End
Strictly a business hotel. The room reminded me of the various European hotels I've stayed...small and comfy.
Two things I look for in a hotel room: comfortable bed, clean and spacious bathroom. Everything else does not matter because I only use the…More »
19. Uncle Julio's Rio Grande Cafe
Disclaimer: I come from the land of great Mexican food i.e. Chicago.
Every Wednesday is Mexican food night in our household. We were visiting VA for thanksgiving and requested the family that we continue the Wednesday tradition. My sis-in-law picked…More »
20. Sweetwater Tavern
I went there a couple of times when visiting VA. Their donut bread is awesome. I could just eat that. The other food was OK, nothing great. Typical bar food. Decent service. Will go again for the bread.
Recently updated lists from Krsna V.
Simply the best! (15)Just like the famous diva Tina Turner's song "simply the best, better than all the rest... better than anyone" |
Chicken soup for the soul (19)Entertainment comes in many forms. You wanna be a cabaret star, get emotional at a play, join a cult... I even found myself on a roadtrip! In the end it is all about "chicken soup for the soul"! |
Downtown living (10)I am a Loop dweller. I have never been happy in any other Chicago neighborhood. |
Playin' it safe (42)The 3 and 4 star ratings. It's like you are almost the best. |
Chicagoland aka suburbia (2)Not all suburbs are dreadful. I would probably visit more if there is a flight service from ORD or MDW :-) |
Adventures around NY and NJ (6)Some places I visit to escape from the depressed locales of NJ and Long Island. |
Mr. United Nations (19)Back in the day, when I was wild child, I used to be known as Mr. United Nations. Not for the food, but for the number of flags on my bed post. Now that I have grown past my wild days, I am trying to keep the title by eating through various ethnic foods. |
Brokeback Mountain (3)Yes, I went there! I went to Wyoming to become a cowboy. Failed miserably at becoming a cowboy, but enjoyed my time otherwise. |
Date night (24)As much of an old couple we are (6+ years), we still do date nights often. Dress up, pick a proper place, the whole thing. One of the agreements we have in the V-P household is that we have to fly out for date night at least once a month. Hence, the various out of state places in the list. |
Trips to San Diego (3)I miss my bff. |
